Time 1h

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 ounces Pet milk (evaporated)
2 eggs
1 pie crust, uncooked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Mix everything together in one big bowl.
  • You don't have to bake the crust first, prick the bottom of it.
  • Pour filling into crust.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes. Let the pie set for a long while once it comes out of the oven. I think this definitely tastes better room temperature.
  • If you'd like, serve with a big scoop of ice-cream, some fruit, a little whipped cream, or straight out of the pie plate!

Categories     Pies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg pie dough crust, such a pillsbury
1 1/2 c sugar
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
4 Tbsp unsalter butter, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 c evaporated milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
whipped cream for serving

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Ease the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Prick the crust lightly with a fork. Line the crust with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes or until set. Remove the foil and weights and bake for about 5 minutes longer, just until the crust is dry but not browned.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sugar with the cocoa powder, butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt until smooth
  • 3. 3. Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake for about 45 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but a little jiggly in the center. Cover the crust with strips of foil halfway through baking. Transfer the pie to a rack and let cool completely before cutting into wedges. Serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky and tender crust.
  • Chill the pie dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust is cooked through.
  • Do not overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can cause the filling to become tough.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out of the pie.

Conclusion:

Minny's chocolate pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate filling and flaky pie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a fan of the movie The Help or just love a good chocolate pie, this recipe is sure to please.
